Forgetting your Windows administrator login password. With
no way to get into the system, you can’t even perform basic
maintenance, let alone a thorough tune-up. Formatting is
always an option, but we consider that a last resort.
(Plus, guess who’s going to have to help reinstall all the
programs lost after a wipe?) But all hope is not lost.
There are a few ways to actually retrieve a lost Windows
account password. Read on, and we’ll show you the light.
====1st Method====
The first thing which you check if you forget login
password. When we install Windows, it automatically creates
an account “Administrator” and sets its password to blank.
So if you have forget your user account password then try
this:
Start system and when you see Windows Welcome screen /
Login screen, press ctrl+alt+del keys twice and it’ll show
Classic Login box. Now type “Administrator” (without
quotes) in Username and leave Password field blank. Now
press Enter and you should be able to log in Windows.
Now you can reset your account password from “Control
Panel -> User Accounts”.
Same thing can be done using Safe Mode. In Safe Mode
Windows will show this in-built Administrator account in
Login screen.
====2nd Method====
1. Reboot your machine.
2. Press F8 before the Windows boot screen appears.
o Do not press F5 as used on the NT/9x series of Windows.
3. You will be be prompted with a boot options menu.
4. Select the Start Windows in Safe Mode option.
5. Click through several self-explanatory screens until
your reach the familiar 'Welcome' screen.
6. Note that this welcome screen is limited to 256 colors
and 640x480 resolution because the primary graphics will
have been set to the Windows Safe Mode software VGA
adapter. You will not be able to change this mode even in
Display options, while Windows is running in Safe Mode.
7. Find the icon for the Administrator user. If the default
settings of your system haven't been changed, there should
be no password for this account.
o The Safe Mode Welcome screen might display some of the
other users on your system.
8. Login as the admin.
9. Press Yes at the prompt asking if you would like to
continue using Safe Mode.
10. Continue on to the User Settings control panel. Here
you can change any of the other passwords for user on the
machine. Make any changes you want.
11. Reboot your computer. As long as you don't press any
keys (i.e. F8) during the boot-up the computer will startup
normally.
12. Login as the user for which you set the password.
====3rd Method====
Windows XP and further versions also provide another method
to recover forgotten password by using “Reset Disk”. If you
created a Password Reset Disk in past, you can use that
disk to reset the password. To know more about it, please

====4th method====
Comparatively, using windows password Recovery Tool
utility is a reliable and convenient method for solving the
password problem. Normally, the program can easily reset
the password to “Blank” with no -reformatting or
installation. Do all the job for you automatically.
Unfortunately, it is not safe to use some free recovery
tool to recover windows password. So here is the recommend
recovery tool：windows password Recovery Tool 3.0 .you
could see the recommendation of articlesbase.

friends.
